Used address on website and ended up on windy roads to the admin office. After we finally arrived at campground on tiny little roads we discovered it is right off a state highway 32. Close to shopping and restaurants. Large campground with lots of things to do. Paved roads to ride bikes. Adequately Clean bathroom/shower. Lots of trees and shade. Our site was easy to back in and had a level asphalt pad. Not many full hook up sites. Campground map is NOT to scale. - Jan Orlando

The site map is misleading so when you reserve in advance, you will not know how close or distant you are from the next site or other features. We were just above another site, so we suffered from their constant campfire smoke which went straight into our AC. Their firepit was actually closer to us than to them. (Not their fault). We were able to move to another site the next day. - Sue S

Very busy campground on the weekend. There are 416 sites and of that 23 are full hookup. Site was clean and level. All sites are back in. Shower/restrooms are clean however very old with peeling paint. Being a very nice sunny warm weekend the campground was full of families with happy children all out and having a great time. Our loop C was quiet. No wifi but good cell service. We did not get any OTA TV but only have a small antenna. Our site was shady and sites in our loop were a nice distance apart. We believe the sites are only about 35 feet long so many had to park their tow vehicle on the grass beside their site. - Trainspotter

The rate reflects weekly rate divided by 7. This is a long-term park and not really meant for a weekend outing. That being said, when one wants to visit the area for 3 or more nights, the weekly cost of $135/week becomes equal or better than 3 nights at a normal commercial campground at $45/night. We were greeted by the park host on a golf cart as soon as we pulled in. He escorted us to our site, helped me move the picnic table, and then gave me advice on getting into the site. The sites are state park-ish. Electric and water hookup. Some sites are more spacious and typically have long-term residents on them. Riverside sites are all taken, so don't expect one of those for a weekend. There are some really long term units there, but they are are few. No shady characters. Most campers are full timers up north for the summer. There is a dump station near the exit of the park. There is a picnic table and a fire ring at each site. Downtown Cincinnati is about a 15 minute drive from the park. - WineStream

We rented a space for the month for $410. The driveway is gravel, the camp site is grass/mud, and you are required to mow your own grass. There is no bathhouse or sewer. The sites on the side that we stayed apparently have a known electrical problem, especially when the camp is busy. We were never told this and we could only run the refrigerator. Our son is disabled and we need full electrical services at all times because he is ventilator dependent and you aren't allowed to run a generator during quiet hours. We had leave our RV and come home during the holiday weekend due to insufficient electricity services. The grounds are very wet due to rain and lack of gravel or paved sites. If you are traveling with an elderly or disabled individual I would not recommend this camping experience. The parks employees are not honest about what sites have adequate hookups. Another couple was moved an hour before we were told our electricity would be an issue for the entire weekend despite prepaying for the month. Only rents by the week or month and no chance of being directly on the river. Those sites have been reserved for years. So what small amount of time we actually were there we spent looking at the back of 5th wheels. People also park in your designated campsite and that seems to be allowed. - charliepom

We spent five days on a full hookup 50 amp site with a concrete patio. The site had ample room for our 35' and tow. The utilities were convenient and there was a reasonable amount of space between sites. This section of the park looks newer as there were only small trees at the site. Trees line the back of the sites though permitting evening shade. The center road offers concrete pull thrus. We paid $41 for an hour pontoon boat rental and rode around the lake. It was VERY convenient to all things Cincinnati as it was 3 miles S of I275 inside the loop. For a park inside a huge city, this park felt like you were in the country. One complaint: There is an older 30 amp section too. We moved to this area during the weekend. The sites were closer and we had a rude neighbor that had eight cars spend the weekend. Half of these visitors parked on our site.Next time I will tell the VIP about excessive neighbors who don't respect other peoples space. - Tammy7

Absolutely beautiful setting for this large recreational park on the lake. It depends on what you are going there for (fishing, riding, camping) but our experience as a CAMPER was not our favorite. Rolling hills make it very difficult to find a spot on level ground; even many tents looked tilted on the slope. A majority of the narrow paved pads are sloped and are placed at challenging-to-access angles. The (only) "bathhouse" is located up on the hill, and was a good 4-5 minute walk from our campsite, and we were at one of the closest "improved" sites. Most people drove their cars to get there. Relatively clean, but only tolerable, as far as facilities are concerned: 3 toilets, 2 sinks, and one large ugly shower with a broken handicapped seat and water that drained poorly on an uneven floor. AJ Jolly is a beautiful place, but for camping itself, it was not much more than adequate. - LooziAnna

Stayed in the equestrian campground due to size of camper (35 ft.) but did not have horse. Large level gravel space with water and electric. Lake was short distance from site so easy access with kayaks. Road bikes around park without any issues. Very peaceful and quiet setting. Fishing, golf course and wonderful environmental education center on site. Local winery very short distance away. - NKyCampers

This was our first trip in our RV. This park is very poor. The park is not clean, They have 26 "Improved electric" sites available. The sites are very small - almost too small for a pop-up camper. They are basically small uneven pads on a hill close to the lake. Would be good for a tent but not for any type of camper. The park is gate controlled and if you have visitors they must pay for the vehicle to be on the grounds. There was a boat race on the lake the weekend that we camped. It was very loud and could be dangerous. I made reservations but was not notified of this high speed boat race. The boats started very early and went on into the evening. Park was staffed with what appeared to be high school kids that did not care. - depguy

This is a lovely park but getting to it is stressful at best. I would have given this park an 8 or 9 except for the road getting to it. The road is somewhat skinny with no shoulders and anywhere from a few inches to a foot or more of drop off on the edge. There are overhanging trees almost the entire way up 159 that are worrisome. Once in the park you realize right away that it was designed by a non-RV person. The layout is not conducive to backing in to sites. All that being said we had a lovely spot (150' back up with a double dog-leg) that was wooded and private. The sites that we saw (and ours) are NOT level. Bring lots of leveling blocks. The bath-house I used was not dirty, but not clean. Spider webs on the outside and needs some work. I know it sounds all negative, but it really is a nice place. Just keep all this things in mind if you go there. Very weak Verizon cell service, no cable but good OTA TV, no WiFi. Good water. - jomark

We stayed here over 4th of July weekend and was a little disappointed on our campsite. It was shaded, but sites in our area were right on top of each other. Sites towards front of campground were spaced apart more as were sites located by tent camping area. However you have to be cautious on sites because a lot were uneven and smaller. We had a 21' and was tight getting into our site. It was packed of course, but was surprised to see how quiet it was. That was nice to have. As for things to do it was good. There was 2 trails to hike, but only 2.25 total. The swimming pool was nice and the smaller but nice lake had boats for rental also. There was plenty of family activities to do i.e. volleyball, miniature golf, basketball, tennis, hiking, paddle boat rental, swimming, and hiking to name some. We liked it overall and would stay again, just in a different site. - kycamper02

Members of FMCA only. We stayed 2 nites on our way to a 419 Rally in Goshen IN. Two nites free, $20/nite after. Nice stop along the way. NOW, reservations required. All sites are back-in. There are some full hook-ups, but some sites water /el only and lastly, sites w/el only. Plenty of places to eat/shop. - Long Island Mac

We stayed at this park before, but wanted to update the review since our recent stay. The shower house and restrooms have been updated. New tile and all new fixtures at the central shower house. Well kept and clean with hot water. There aren't full hook-up sites and the dump station was partially closed. The park staff said the dump station was on its last leg and was going to be updated (hope so). Otherwise, this is a very nice state park. Since it is in our home state, we will definitely return. Sites are spacious and level. - IBpraisingGod

We camped here for a long weekend and loved it. Driving to the actual park is a bit nerve wracking, as we have a 38ft camper and the park is accessed through narrow back roads. When you arrive at the park, follow signs for camping. Stay to the right, and when you think you have missed it, keep driving and you will dead end at the campground. The campground is deep in the park.

This campground is tucked back into the park a few miles along the lake. Sites are well spaced apart, and all sites a paved and easy to navigate to once inside the park. The attendant student at both the check in desk and the convenience store were very friendly and knowledgeable.

No water hookups at the sites, but various potable water sources throughout the campground. The park is very family friendly and offers a playground that was in decent shape, but could use a little TLC.

We had excellent cell, Verizon, and 4G service. Bath houses were very dated, but clean and stocked. All electric hookups appear to be very close to parking pads; outs was less than 6ft away. We enjoy hiking and this park has one 2 mile trail that needs some maintenance and not much else. Overall we were very pleased and will be back in the same site next time- site 68. - WeisnerFamily4

A nice state park. It is a small state park, but with mainly spacious and level sites (except ones on hill which are numbers 32-41). Showers could use updating, but we're hot and clean. Trails could also use some pruning back, but the sites were well mowed and clean. Overall, a very nice place to stay. There were some seasonal sites, but things were kept fairly clean and picked up on these sites as well. - IBpraisingGod

A great stay when there for a race or open practice. Way cheaper than a hotel and much safer for your riding gear. Nice and quiet when there's no racing and great for a quick getaway. Having sewer and water is a great bonus. Open areas for kids to play and the staff is super nice. Geared more to racers so there's not the normal campground stuff. - ohbuffalo
